In a recent conversation with Pat Patterson, Sun’s dynamic OpenSSO community advocate, he referenced a recent blog post highlighting how six of the top twenty contributors to the OpenSSO project came from individuals outside of Sun.  These external contributions, such as those associated with the The Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), illustrate how fundamental innovation is accelerated by the Open Source model.  It is great to see members of the growing OpenSSO community really working to deliver value to each other.

Today’s cover story from USA Today’s sport section extolled the rising fortunes of my alma mater’s football team.  I’m old enough to have been in BYU stadium to see the home games leading to BYU’s 1984 national championship.  It is great to see the level of on the field and off the field performance by the current team. We are doubly excited to see the exploits of Max Hall, the BYU quarterback, who went to high school in Mesa, Arizona, where we now live.
